Professor Martha Davis' new piece in the Brennan Center for Justice, "The Greening of State Constitutions," focuses on how courts play an increasingly important role in enforcing states’ environmental rights amendments.

By expanding the justiciability of environmental rights, states’ Green Amendments are starting to fill that gap," said Davis.
